The Apex Chassis BJ130K Super HD Upper Knurled Ball Joint is a heavy duty replacement ball joint for your Dodge Ram 2500/3500. This upgraded ball joint features a forged SAE 1045 steel housing with a knurled finish for superior grip in worn or oversized knuckles, making it especially suitable for older or high mileage trucks where the original knuckle housing bore may have worn.
Knurled Housings: The preferred design for aftermarket installations.
CNC Machined Housing: Makes these parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
Plunger Design Stud: Allows up and down movement with no side-to-side movement.
Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location it needs to be.
Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware.
Step Threads: Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued.
Internal Seal Boot: The boot is coined onto the ball joint, for superior sealing against contaminants.
